Wells for Hope for South Sudan

Wells for Hope for South Sudan 501(c)3 Non-Profit Organization for drilling water wells in rural villages of South Sudan; inspired by Majok Marier’s memoir of his flight from war + after

Wells for Hope was formed following Majok’s and Estelle’s collaboration on "Seed of South Sudan.” One of the most detailed books on the Lost Boys of Sudan since South Sudan became the world’s newest nation in 2011, this is a memoir of Majok Marier, an Agar Dinka who was 7 when war came to his village in southern Sudan. During a 21-year civil war, 2 million lives were lost and 80 percent of the Sou

th Sudanese people were displaced. Tens of thousands of boys like Majok fled from the Sudanese Army that wanted to kill them. Surviving on grasses, grains, and help from villagers along the way, Majok walked nearly a thousand miles to a refugee camp in Ethiopia. Majok and 3,800 like him emigrated to the United States in 2001 while the civil war still raged. His story is joined to others’ in this book.

Think of South Sudan this Giving Tuesday!

Unsafe water claims more lives in Africa than all forms of violence combined. You can help change that.

Every well we build serves up to 5,000 people, bringing clean water, health, and hope. Thanks to your support, we’ve built 10 wells so far, and we’re raising funds for our 11th well.

On Friday, November 14th, several Wells for Hope for South Sudan board members attended the funeral service for WFHFSS co-founder Estelle Ford-Williamson. It was held on a beautiful morning at St. Peter's Catholic Church in Beaufort, SC near St. Helena Island, Estelle's beloved Lowcountry home. We presented to Estelle's husband Richard this framed copy of the tile that we plan to embed on our next well which will be dedicated to Estelle.
